When looking back at years from 2001 through 2003, there were still tons of coinop games not yet emulated.
It was crazy that an Italian (user name Bisboch ) actually remembered the coinop game Planet Probe and memorized the initial names score entry musical melody sequence of Planet Probe which was verified when the game was emulated in November 2012. Some have better memory retention if the game had a meaning. When Fazeo did not remember Nintendo Skyhawk film reel projection screen game, but had asked for the game name, I knew what Fazeo was asking about back in fall 2001. I did not remember the game name either, but I knew what Fazeo was describing on the forum back then because I did play the game back in late 1970s.

Us users are fortunate that a lot of obscure game titles have been preserved as well as unique alternate game versions. Unfortunate that your wanted version of Tekhan World Cup ( likely a unique bootleg version) has not been found yet. And also the two unique games that Moose has been trying to find just the names and he has not yet been lucky compared to most others that have found the game names or played them if already preserved.

Haze, Stiletto, Mr Goodwraith and a few others also helped your search then. Dan ( Flyer Fever) saved me time regarding flyers of games I was trying to remember back then. There was a damn, sharp, knowledgeable coinop poster that was posting in 2000 on the old MAME.net forum and knew his stuff. He had to have been arcade tech during 1960s and 1970s. I don’t recall seeing anymore of his posts on the forum after 2000.

> I would love to be razzed anytime by you anytime! That also includes Fazeo, whom I miss so much.
> Such fun times we had back then. I hope one day he contacts someone of us again.

Probably only thing that gets him to make a cameo appearance is if Nintendo Skyhawk is ever emulated.
I was crossing fingers that Smit might visit briefly when Marble Madness 2 was added to MAME support in Spring 2022, but he didn’t post then. It would have been an amusing comment from him.

> Oh yes, I would do it again to meet you and Zephyr and Mr Do and all of you!
> And the place we met was special too.

iirc the first place we visited doesn’t exist anymore. And the crummy thing was Camelot miniature golf course arcade got rid of the remaining games that used to be there back in 2006. Gyrovision and myself visited Camelot arcade in 2011 and all the games from 2006 were changed out and replaced. There wasn’t any game worth playing in 2011. Even any of the DDR type games were removed by 2011 iirc. Mr. Do would not have been a happy camper with those games being gone. Consider yourself fortunate you had a chance to watch his DDR skills at work back during 2006 visit.

Karasu and myself were in disbelief watching Mr. Do doing DDR back in 2003 SoCali MAME meet.

Now on to Sega Borderline gameplay with emulated analog audio sounds.
